A few recommendations :

Refrain from sharing your personal information (name, address, telephone number) before taking the time to really know your correspondent. If you decide to meet the person, please choose a public place at an hour of heavy traffic. When going to such meetings, please make sure your friends and family know where you are going and that you have your own means of transportation.
